I got a little teary eyed when I read about Aiden from Animal Place's Website:Aiden is a "bummer lamb". In the sheep industry, ewes oftentimes give birth to twins or triplets. This is more than a normal ewe can handle and many times one of the lambs will be abandoned to die.
Such was the case with Aiden who was abandoned and rescued by someone who found him crying and near death in a field.

Aiden is very special. He rarely hangs out with sheep, preferring the goats, pigs, humans or cattle as companions. When he sees a person he knows, he'll come bounding down the hill for some attention.

Not B-a-a-a-a-ad. Actually, very good. And a great story and cause. You shine, Sheila. p.s. And I put "Enjoy the Ride" on my upper left sidebar. Click and enjoy.
What a sad story about Aiden. I am impressed to read about your involvement with Animal Place. Love your rendering of Aiden.
You always move me with the animal stories. I'm so glad he was saved.
